| Small Rippin' Shads and Claws, ripped and paused.
And of course some of my gliders. The new Redwood ones had great life and moved a lot of fish, but it's kind of cost prohibitive so I made what I could for myself. And HR's too. |

Location: Pickering, ON | Blades caught every fish in the boat this year - a handful on inlines (including 54" PB) and the rest on spinnerbaits.
I do fish them 60% of the time or so. Tops, cranks, jerks, etc. just weren't the ticket this year. |

This brings back bad memories of me pulling a little pike out of the water as a giant pike swung to eat it. D'oh! |

Location: Maple Grove, MN | In my boat, CJs spinner baits for the tenth year in a row. Copper/brown doubles worked best this year overall, but we caught quite a few on the tandem chartruese/black crappie and new large single willow skirted models too.

Lee makes outstanding baits! I too had great success with the tidalwave - just a great bait. Lee's chopper put a 53" in the net for me this year. |

Even though I build most of my stuff my best day and I only went three time in 2009 was 8 fish contacted on an Ace bait Scooter . Top water prop bait. Caught two out of three on it that day and had 8 fish engage the lure. I lost a real good one that day. Kingfisher

What am I saying, they're all dumb. Stupid fish have no geographical boundaries! Hahahahahaha. " I'm leavin' the dance with who brought me!" |

| Mine was a particular white bucktail. 50+ fish on one lure. It's currently on it's 3rd skirt, and probably the 5th hook.
Here it is next to a brand new version of the same lure (different color, of course).

Location: Ames, Iowa | For catching fish an orange short pin spinner bait with orange blade. For bringing fish to the boat, a black perch 9 inch weighted Suick. This year I was really great at bringing the big girls to the boat...but that was pretty much where they left me. It sure is nice to think of warm water fishing now. |
